While it isn't blitzing us like Marvel Studios (which has three films coming in 2017), 20th Century Fox always seems to have at least one X-Men movie in the works, and the next might be coming sooner than we thought.

James McAvoy has posted a picture of himself with series writer-producer Simon Kinberg, hinting that they will be reuniting in the summer.

Josh Boone is attached to direct New Mutants, which will feature a new class of trainee X-Men from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. No castings have been confirmed for that project, but it is expected to feature Split's Anya Taylor-Joy and Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams.

Stewart will soon be seen reprising his role as Professor X with Hugh Jackman in Logan, which will be released in the UK on March 1 and in the US on March 3.
